We had not planned on stopping in Carrizozo, but found that we had to because of a dust storm. It was my birthday, and I was pretty disappointed not to be somewhere larger to celebrate. However, our stay was delightful. The hotel is an old, drive to the door place, which thrilled my husband who loves places like that. It... More

I have to admit that I was a bit hesitant about staying here, but I had read other reviews on TripAdvisor and they were right. The Rainbow Inn is a fantastic value if you are in Carrizozo or just passing through. The bed was quite comfortable. There was a microwave,mini fridge, and coffee maker in the room. The room was...

We stayed here before visiting the Trinity Site on its recent open day. It's a well run and maintained little motel with friendly and helpful owners. The room was clean and tidy, with both a fridge and a microwave.

I arrived in town around 9 after some road construction detours and delays, and was pleasantly surprised at the price of 42 for the night. The desk person was efficient and friendly, the room was well maintained and clean. Next morning they let me borrow a mini vac to clean the sand out of my car after coming from White... More

This was the best value on our New Mexico Adventure. It was just where we needed to stop for the night. The room was recently redone and sheets, shower and bed were all comfortable and spotlessly cared for. The room had a fridge and a microwave. The owner was pleasant and available for us to check in early before we... More

Wife and I stayed in Cottage #12 on May 22, 2012, exactly a year after "sfetraveler" did (see their review) and concur fully with their review. The facility was bright and in good repair and very, very clean. Scott was friendly, courteous, and very helpful. While the cottages are rather small (but not particularly claustrophobic) and basic, they were all... More

My boyfriend and I were returning to Fort Worth Texas after a nice relaxing road trip to Arizona, we arrived at the Rainbow Inn around 10;30 pm and checked in to our room. I have never been to Crash Site 51 but I have been to the Roswell and the UFO museum several times. During the night, our door blew... More

Super clean and nicely updated (new rugs, shower tile, etc). Friendly staff too. Free wifi, microwave, and fridge. Oh, and plenty of outlets. I ended up staying a couple extra days.

Carrizozo is not exactly a tourist hotspot but it is a good town to stay in to visit the Valley of Fires Recreation Site (4 miles up the road) and the Three Rivers Petroglyph Site (30 miles away). The folks at the Rainbow Inn are very friendly and helpful. We booked one of their cottages and we loved it, and... More
